Welcome to Uncommon Advice, where we get into all things marketing and money.

It’s spring break week for my kids. We didn’t book a trip with everything going on. Instead, we decided to stick around and do cool stuff in our city.

It started with Caden and me sitting courtside at an NBA game. One of our bucket list items.

We rolled that into a weekend of fun at the farm with family.

We even hit up an Escape room, which I talk about below.

Anyways, lets’s dive in!

The best business or side hustle to start in 2024

What Is it?

The best business or side hustle to start in 2024 is a newsletter (like Morning Brew). I've built dozens of them.

They're incredible for just about anyone. Here's why…

1. Ease

All you need to get started is a couple of software tools and a few hours.

That’s it.

Then, once you have momentum, it’s all just content creation, which is pretty easy.

2. Scalability

Newsletters have limitless scale.

4 billion people use email. That’s a huge number.

Your systems barely change as you get bigger. You just send emails to more people.

3. Margins

The margins on newsletters are extremely good. Especially if you build organically.

Lots of products also have zero cost to create, which makes the margins even better.

4. Options

Once you build an audience, you have tons of options for how to monetize them.

Those include products, services, affiliate deals, sponsorships, and more.

5. Ownership

If you build an audience on social media, it can always be taken away from you.

If you get someone’s email, it’s yours. That makes your business extremely safe.

Tap Into The Newsletter Agency

I’ve decided to launch a Done for You Newsletter Agency.

Over the last 4 years I have scaled a multi-7-Figure newsletter business. We currently run 14 newsletter brands.

Along the way we have optimized the entire process and are now going to help others do the same.

We are officially taking on new clients in April.

We will handle design, content creation, and subscriber growth.

We will even Press Send for you!

Kennedy Khronicles

It’s spring break this week. We ended up not heading out on vacation and decided to do some fun things around our city.

Last night we went over to Escapology.

Good News: We escaped the room!

Bad News: We needed extra time!

We have 4 very competitive leaders in our house, so there might have been a couple arguments along the way.

We have a few more fun things planned this week.

Really the focus is just enjoying some quality family time and creating memories, since we are pretty busy with school, sports, coaching, work, etc.

Rooting for ya!
